#AriAtAunties So privileged to have Ari dog stayin

#AriAtAunties So privileged to have Ari dog staying with us in the coming weeks as Darcy hunkers down to do her best work in the ER. He’s a cutie patootie and treats our Charlie with utmost respect so we are glad to have him! We’ve been on some lovely walks and he’s given the local squirrels the what for. Also, he doesn’t seem to mind the pipes practice. 🤔 Maybe he has a hearing deficiency. @wilsondarcy0

Thinking of my friends in Antigua today. Wondering how everyone is during this crazy time. The streets of so many bustling towns find themselves empty just now. I just look for light and color. #antiguaguatemala #acrylicgouache #painting #covidtimes

There are a few things that can drive the hum of covid worries from my mind for a little while at least. A good long run, time working in the garden, sleep (when I can achieve it) and, the most predictable and reliable, painting. Painting is an escape into shape and color, light and shadow, form and volume. It is the great escape for now. I’m grateful for it, in these troubled times. #ampainting #antiguaguatemala #smallscalepainting #acrylicgouache

Once upon a time, not so long ago, I went on a morning run in the historic and beauty-filled city of Antigua Guatemala. It was early and only a few people were out and about, really. I needed a run to clear my head before the day’s teaching ahead of me. There were tourists at hostel doorways awaiting shuttles to their next destination, backpacks at the ready. There were smiling sisters awaiting a church opening. A fruit vendor was turning a corner on cobbles and found himself quite stuck and so I asked him if I might help get him over the bump in the road. He grinned and said, “Sí, sí! Gracias!” And so we pushed and pushed the cart onto more level ground then waved a goodbye as we both headed on to our work day. As I neared home to our Posada, the Parque Centrál came into view and a lovely “quinceañera” was by the fountain in her gown getting her photo taken. Like many others on this random, average Antigua day, I stopped and admired this young woman on the cusp of adulthood. The color and light and temperature were perfect. A beautiful moment, marking a turning point in one young life. I got a little teary, as one does at these things.
Today I painted this moment from a photograph, from a very different vantage point. And no less teary. So many milestones missed this season amidst the worries surrounding this global pandemic. And I’m reminded that it’s all right to grieve it all. My heart goes out to the graduates and prom goers and brides and grooms and anyone who was planning anything. This is really really hard. On SO many levels. And it’s ok to grieve all of it. Pouring love into my paintbrush as it’s the only thing I know how to do.

Yesterday I started my “Travel Journal For Turbu

Yesterday I started my “Travel Journal For Turbulent Times” officially as it’s the very day our great state of Ohio went on ‘official lockdown’. I think it’s important to write a bit in a journal each day, to take stock of ‘the weather’ both outside and inside our own minds and hearts, much like I do when I travel more far-flung like. These are uncertain and scary times. Over on my blog I wrote a few tips down on getting your own travel journal started on this strange journey we’re on together. Today I carved a little stamp to take stock of internal ‘weather’. How are you processing all of this? I’d love to know. Join me and we can work on our journals together. #journal #traveljournal #covidjourney
